http://www.apronstringsdesigns.blogspot.com/ layout called for a blue and white color scheme and to incorporate a tree of some kind. Here it is, I was pretty happy with the tree I cut. The pattern paper was leftovers given to me by a friend--thanks Kai!

This layout is for http://www.apronstringsdesigns.blogspot.com/ challenge. It called for the use of only scraps. So here it is, aside from the cardstock to hold it together everything else is scraps. The patterned paper, letter stickers and the other stickers---all scraps. Yeah, it really helps when you save EVERYTHING!!!!

This is for my http://www.apronstringsdesigns.blogspot.com/ challenge, Christmas in July. It was close, we went to Santa's workshop in early Aug. I have 2 girls and I do albums for each of them, we took this trip twice and they loved it so there are many pics to help them always remember, so you can imagine how many layouts I've had to do. These challenges have helped alot with working on xmas in summer.

I totally missed the cutoff for this one at http://www.apronstringsdesigns.blogspot.com/ It was to distress, tear something on your layout. Even though I missed the date to submit I needed to do it anyway, just so I can say I've done them all! I was really happy with how this turned out. I used my distress tool on the mats, and I crumpled the green stips.

This is my take on http://www.apronstringsdesigns.blogspot.com/ layout. It actually turned out pretty good, I was worried, I dont normally do a single picture on a page. I guess that's why they are called challenges, they are trying to get us to work out of our comfort zone.

This is for a challenge I do with some friends. Behind the map of the Battleship NC I placed the photo of the ship. It was a blurry shot so I didnt want to make it too visible, this way when you remove the map, you can see the ship. The layout is from Nuts About Sketches.

This is my layout for http://www.apronstringsdesigns.blogspot.com/ challenge. We were to use a die cut of some sort on our page, so I used my new Cricut to cut the swirls on the side of the layout. Love this machine, dont know why I didnt get one sooner!

This is for the http://www.apronstringsdesigns.blogspot.com/ challenge. It is a layout inspired by media. Can you guess what my inspiration was? I'll give you a hint, he's orange, white and black striped! I've been meaning to do this layout before I lost the chance. It was fun and amazing to see how much Nemo stuff she has.
